PNEUMONIA.
A Scientific and Accurate Descript-
ion of this Dreaded Disorder.


eft is generally supposed that pneu-
l"monia is due to the, accidental pene.
Grating Of specific microbec into the
system, but the observations of NJ.

ssresults from the. development, under
Favorable conditions, of microbic germs

Scientific American.
Another prominent American) au-
thority ascribes pneumonia to an excess
Of ozone, ozone being produced by pas
sage Of electricity in the air.
| A distinguished American PHYSICIAN
tells the New York Tribune that the
prevalence Of pneumonia indicates the
universally of uric acid condition of
the blood sudden chills always being
characteristic effects of too much acid,
of one sort and smother.
The disease, as M. Jaccoud observes,
is undoubtedly in the blood, but if in
the form Of permanent microbes or
germs, these germs must be developed
by the uric.acid condition of the blood.
Indeed they cannot presumably exist
In alkaline blood. Uric acid is the
name for the waste matter of the sys-
TEN, which the kidneys, through evil
dent though unsupported impairment,
have not been able to filter from the
blood, the filter being foul and stop
ped up in many Of it little hair like
| tubes.
/ The Tribune's authority says that
pneumonia is secondary disorder, the
exposure and cold being simply the
agent which develop the system, be-
cause the kidneys have been but par
TALLY doing their duty. In short,
pneumonia is but an early indication
I Of bright's diseased condition. This
4 impaired action may exist for years
without the patient suspe sting it, be-
cause no pain will be felt in the kid
neys. or their vicinity, and often it can
be detected only by chemical and mi.
croscopical examinations. Nearly NSO
of the TAO deaths in New York @
the first week in recent March, an
in six weeks 7s1 deaths, were caused
by pneumonia alone.
If one has occasional chills and fever
tendency to colds in the throat and
lungs, rheumatic and neuralgia pains,
extreme tired feelings, short breath
and pleuritic stitches in the side, loss
Of appetite, backache, nervous unrest
-scalding sensations or scant and dis.
colored fluids, heart gatherings, sour
stomach. distressed look. puffy eye
sacks, hot and dry skin, loss Of strength
and virility, pneumonia is likely to
strike him down any day, and his re-
covery will be doubtful.
These indications may not appear
together, they may come, disappear and
re appear, for years. the person not
realizing that they are natures warn
ings of coming calamity.
The disease is very quick.acting and
if the accompanying kidney disorder
is very far advanced, recovery is in
possible, for the kidneys give out en-
tirely, and the patient is literally suf-
| located by water.
The only safeguard against pneumo-
mia is to maintain vigorous condition
of the system and thus prevent attacks
by using whatever will radically and
effectually restore full vitality to the
kidneys, and for this there IS nothing
equal to Warmers safe cure. If the
kidneys are not sound pneumonia can
not be prevented. This remedy is
known to millions, used probably by
hundreds Of thousands all over the
globe, aud commended as standard
specific wherever known and used. 1t
does not pretend to cure an attack of
pneumonia, but it does remove the
cause Of, and prevent that disease if
taken in time.
When physician says his patient
has either bright's disease or pneumo-
he coafesses his inability to cure, and
in measure he considers his respon-
sibllity ended. In many instances, in
deed, persons are reported as dying of
pneumonia, heart disease, appoplexy
and commissions, when the real cause
of death, and so known by the ,physi-
clans, is this kidney consumption.
Thousands of people have it without
knowing it, and perish of it because
their theirphysicians will not tell them
the facts.
| The same destiny awaits every one
who will not exercise his judgment 10
such matter and be true to himself,
his family and to society.
